Pros

innovation, lots of opportunities to play with the latest technologies smart people, working for Amazon has been an incredible learning experience.

Cons

Very difficult to get promoted. Every promotion is basically a battle initiated by the employee. Never recognized from management. Worked in different departments , orgs and even countries and the experience has been always the same. I have always had to threaten to leave to be promoted. Salaries not competitive.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
